Abstract
Large stroke flexure hinges inherently lose support stiffness when deflected due to load components in compliant bending and torsion directions. To maximize performance over the entire range of motion, a topology optimization suited for large stroke flexure hinges is developed to obtain an optimized design tuned for a specific application. This method is applied on two test cases which have resulted in two hinge designs with unmatched performance with respect to the customary three flexure cross hinge.
